No need to go overseas, almost all countries with birthright citizenship are in the Americas.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

The better term might be "abroad", rather than "overseas". Because Jus Soli is a concept that exists mostly in the Americas. So you'd better not cross over the Atlantic or Pacific sea for this plan.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 41 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

That isn’t the plan you think it is. The US is an outlier in terms of granting birthright citizenship. Most countries - and particularly, most developed countries - do not do this.

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Canada, Mexico and a lot of South America countries do this.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works -3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

And if you believe any of them are safe territory when it comes to what our batshit government might do, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn looking for a buyer.

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I hope Canada is safe, becauseI live there.

[–] gadfly1999@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago

Don’t look too closely at your southern neighbor, it might be alarming.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Buddy, trust me you really shouldn't want Americans to become citizens in your country.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

They would have to have birth right citizenship for that to work.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago

We don't recognize birthright citizenship. You'll have to fill in the paperwork like everyone else.

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 53 points 11 hours ago (12 children)

Americans posting memes against American Imperialism, while simultaneously having an American-Centric worldview about the world in regards to citizenship.

Ironic.

(No offense to OP 😉)

nobody likes immigrants, and that includes other countries

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

I like immigrants. They're so much more interesting than most people.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

It's a good era in which to not have children. Expect a lot of forsaken children.

Also expect some coerced birthing programs such as the Leibensborn program (which was also an excuse to recruit young women as sex slaves for the Schutzstaffel ) and the offspring were supported by the state and raised by the single mothers.

This is the program that inspired the Handmaid program in Margaret Atwood's Gilead, in A Handmaid's Tale

And J. D. Vance is super thirsty for it, as is countless other Freedom caucus and MAGA Republican officials.

ETA That said, it might be a good time to get sterilized and commit to not having kids. (That doesn't mean you won't have chances to parent)

Counterpoint:if all leftists don't have kids, then conservatives will end up as the entire next generation. Not to like say, definitely have kids, but anti kid propaganda only hurts us

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.world 77 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Uh, very few countries have birthright only citizenship.

[–] placatedmayhem@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago

Here's the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli#Unrestricted_jus_soli

If I'm counting correctly, 34 countries with unrestricted birthright citizenship, and 40 with restricted.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 65 points 22 hours ago

Well your kid won't get citizenship, but you'll be able to afford to birth them.

[–] whome@discuss.tchncs.de 59 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Is birth citizenship that common? Won't work here in Germany for example...

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 63 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Literally zero European countries do it. It seems to be in the Americas only, and Chad and Tanzania. The concept that this is some human right apparently only applies to he US.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 25 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah that's because we had a whole thing of people claiming that people born enslaved weren't citizens or eligible to vote

This only works if you go to the green countries:

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 34 points 23 hours ago

It's pretty telling about how much Americans know about other countries that the assumption is that Jus Soli is the norm.

[–] coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 47 points 1 day ago (13 children)

What if I go to the gray countries? Do I despawn?

You can't go there until the next expansion.

Doesn't work in most countries. Being stateless isn't very fun.
